Bamboo Curtain Studio - Space Rental

The Bamboo Curtain Studio was established in 1995 as an independently-managed and self-funded organization, providing short-term space to national and international artists and art groups. Artists could apply for residency, produce and make works, do research and experiment with their concepts; at the same time, BCS aimed to encourage community development, and art education. BCS is, since 2011, registered as a non-profit organization (NPO).

The total area of the studio is 2,645 square meters and it is located in Zhuwei, near the MRT Zhuwei Station, along the lone green pathway linking Taipei City to Tamsui river, and adjacent to a bike path. The studio contains 5 live-in studios, and a multi-functional space for exhibitions, meetings and performances called “12 pillars”.  In addition, the “Exchange Center”and “ The Coop” can host seminars, exhibitions and workshops as well. The sculpture studio offers various equipment, including an electric kiln, pug mill, soldering iron, electric saw tables, electronic band saw, compressors, and grinding machines, etc. There is a kitchen, an outdoor stage, a plaza and a garden, and various public spaces. Currently, long-term resident groups are the Sunson Theatre and ceramics artists CHEN Cheng-Hsun, and WU Wei-Ku.
